citation, Cincinnati, o.
A Brief History Of the Association rom
its 1nccption--the Work In Ohio.

The Young Mems Christian Association hadits
inception in London, England, in 1884, George
Williams, u young mum Of twenty-onc years,
was deeply impressed with the needs Of young
men who were spending their time in ,dlcuess
and Godlessness. After communicating HE
feelings ~ young man who he Thought would
sympnthize with him, steps we're taken TO form
IN organization. At first they met with some
opposition from sources where they hud least
reason 10 expect 1t, und IL WINS not until many
counsels had been hud, and much
prayer that u small organization was cnecteo.
The coffeohouscs were the places where meet
ings were frequently held for counsel, the bed
chambcrs were tho places for snal gatherings
for prayer Mr.. williams has grown to bc one
OF Londons princely merchants, and Is the hon
orcd president OF the London Associntion-the
largest In the world.
The influence OF this Association has extended
TO NIL parts Of the globe. America has LOCO Us
socntions, und Europe is sending men to this
country ~ be trained nv General Secretaries, or
Superintendents as they were formerly called.
Bishop Peck, In his History Of the Great Kcpuo-
lie. says: 'No other agency has yet been dis
covered In which ure combined, TO the same de-
gree, those desirable constituent elements
catholicity, economy. originality progressive
ness, efficiency, sympathy and vitality"
The work In the United States and
British provinces Is carried on under
the direction Of International, State und local
committees. The headquarters OF the Intcrna-
tOnsl Committee Is In New York.
The State work OF Ohio was begun shortly af-
ter the war, tha Cincinnati Association being tho
first. though IL was organized prior to the war.
The associations Of Ohio are Of three classes
